(5,023 posts)It baffles me that, if you read between the lines, these self proclaimed liberals (nothing wrong with that, but I doubt they really are) are suggesting that we send folks into enemy territory in order to capture them.
As we've seen this results in thousands of young, dead men and women who had a bright life ahead of them otherwise. Thousands more coming back without limbs and with horrible mental trauma.
I would never send someone into that kind of situation if there were any other choice. That is simple cruel to do. It's pretentious. It's thoughtless.
After 9/11, I knew there were better ways to handle the situation than to send thousands to their deaths. But these people seem to want that to happen again. Oh no, let me correct myself... they would never say they want that. Just implement policies that would make it happen eventually and then pretend like they had nothing to do with it.
